Take what you have gathered from coincidence.

Why must everything be so cryptic? I sometimes get the paranoid feeling that my own thoughts and actions are being mirrored by the media I consume. Take, for instance, a Daily Show episode I downloaded and watched today. There was a segment where Rob goes on a Spring Break consumption bender and wakes up next to various products that he charged. The camera focused specifically on a flat panel monitor next to his head. I happen to have purchased the exact same monitor about a month ago with a card. I know it's probably just a popular model because of the price but still, it gives me an uneasy feeling. I was also watching an episode of South Park in which they drew in a Dr. Pepper can as part of some kind of embedded advertisement. I don't drink Dr. Pepper very often and it bothers me that they drew it in to one of the only shows I can stomach. I guess that's the price we must pay for free media.
